How to use multiple column formats on a page

L

LHS 1954

For a Yearbook, I want to start with 3 columns. These will contain N & A in
column 1, then an old Yearbook picture in column 2, then a current picture in
column 3.

Following this information I want to switch to a single column to enter
their paragraph of life experiences.

The goal is to have two graduates to a page. When I do this now, it shifts
the single column too far down the page to allow enough room for all of the
data.

The single column will start below the pictures regardless of how much text
you have in Column 1.

Hi LHS,

Don't use the Format > Columns feature (or the columns button on the
toolbar) for this. Insert a 3-column-by-1-row table and turn off its borders
(see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/Borders.htm).

The single-column material can be done most easily with ordinary text
paragraphs between tables. (You could make a new row in the table and merge
its 3 cells into one, but that's a complication you don't need.)
